    Subject2.2.2-ac7 boot problems!
    Alan, et al,

    For reasons I cannot fathom, I'm having a persistant problem booting
    some bzImage kernels on a 486 (actually, AMD 5x86-133) box. It's been
    working fine for a week under variously-featured 2.2.2-ac7 images. While
    trying to nail down a periodic nfsd oops, I decided to build-in knfsd
    rather than configure as a module. The image ended up slightly larger
    than its predecessor (~562k vs. 541k) and simply refuses to boot.

    It announces "loading........", then dies with a CRC error. I tried
    starting it from DOS using loadlin - same problem. The size itself can
    hardly be an issue, as kernels for my pentium-class boxes run well over
    560k.

    Any insights into what might be going on? And, yes, I upgraded to the
    latest and greatest binutils - no joy.

    Steve
